Re: openjdk-8-jre for buster

However, today 3 Jun 2019 we see in tracker.debian.org for openjdk-8 that 

"[2019-06-03] Accepted openjdk-8 8u222-b04-1 (source) into experimental" and

"[2019-06-03] Accepted openjdk-8 8u212-b03-2~deb9u1 (source amd64 all) into proposed-updates->stable-new, proposed-updates (Moritz Muehlenhoff) (signed by: Moritz Mühlenhoff)"

Does this mean that refitting of openjdk-8 has begun?

Java Web Start has been removed from OpenJDK 11, so I doubt it.
